Autophagy as a basis for the health-promoting effects of vitamin D.

Abstract:

:Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved lysosomal self-digestion process essential for cellular homeostasis, differentiation and survival. As an adaptive response, it protects organisms against a wide range of pathologies, including cancer, infection, neurodegeneration, heart disease and ageing. Thus, compounds activating autophagy could have great potential in the prevention of common diseases. Interestingly, recent data link autophagy to two functions of the active form of vitamin D (VD): the induction of cancer cell death and the clearance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in macrophages. Because VD deficiency is associated with many pathologies resembling those induced by defective autophagy, it is tempting to speculate that autophagy plays a more general role in the multiple health-promoting effects of VD.

  • BRCA2: breaks, mistakes and failed separations.

    abstract::BRCA2 was identified in 1995, one year after BRCA1. In terms of knowledge of the function of its product, BRCA2 has remained the less well-characterised gene. Both BRCA1 and BRCA2 are closely implicated in the repair of double-strand breaks in DNA by homologous recombination, but beyond that a function for BRCA2 has b...
